I have been drawing since the age of six. My dad used to draw all the time from cars to people, so I picked up on the hobby. Pft, yeah of course my drawings back then sucked so bad but it’s nice to see how I was before. I continued to draw from there to middle school but didn’t draw as much as I wanted to so there wasn’t much improvement until I got into anime and manga. That was the time when my art slowly started to improve. Yes it wasn’t a great change but it was most definitely something.

Moving onto high school, my technical career class for all three years was Advertising and Commercial Arts. I actually have a technical degree for it. During the first two years I loved drawing and I did it almost day. I saw my improvement and seeing my friends improve kept inspiring me. Then junior year came along and our teacher retired and we got a new one. Let’s just say that teacher sucked the life out of us. She was so bad to the point none of us wanted to continue in a future of art. NONE OF US. I lost inspiration. I STILL loved art and loved seeing my online friends improve and cheered them on but as for myself, I was lost. I started to get into makeup, another form of art, and honestly that’s what helped keep my love for art as I did. That teacher just drained us so bad. She didn’t teach us much nor did she really encourage us or even make us try new things. All she did was enter us in contests one after another, same old projects, more contests, and occasionally tell us our form of ‘art’ wasn’t the correct one.

It shocked us all she herself didn’t know there was multiple styles of art not just one. One only isn’t the correct one. There is many styles whether it’s traditional old painting to the newer and advance digital drawing.

There were some projects we did enjoy though, but those were rare.

Moving on... After graduating high school, I was finally freed from that teacher. I continued with art in my free time with inspiration and encouragement from friends and family. I didn’t continue art in college. I still loved it but I didn’t want to do it as a career. Instead I am now studying for forensic science and criminal investigation.

Before August 30th, 2017 I had actually been on a art hiatus for two years (almost three). Again, I had just lost inspiration in myself and my work. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was asked to join the AOT amino, I probably would not have gotten back into art like I am. Yes, over those years I maybe doodled or did quick sketches on random pieces of paper but nothing ever truly... complete. In total there may be only around ten works I can truly say I enjoyed doing and completing over those ‘hiatus’ years.

Joining the AOT amino made me see all the amazing art again and well I just got inspired again. One moment I was doing a drawing then another and another and BAM! The fire was lit again. Joining that community did me great so I wanted to join another in honor of the latest anime I started watching — Haikyuu!!

Both animes and communities (I’m only in these two tho because I can’t handle more than two) inspire me and push me forward. I love seeing all the works that are posted, and I love getting feedback on my own. I don’t know what I would be doing with my art hobby if it wasn’t for joining these great communities, especially this one.

I have met such amazing people here, I regret not joining earlier.

Shoutout to those people that I love so much here! :two_hearts: Whether you know it or not, you inspire me. Thank you!

That is pretty much for my art ‘history’.
